I know this has probably been discussed before but I am always open for advise and learning something new. My wife absolutely does not like me conceal carrying. She feels its unnecessary and we have gotten by this long in life so why need it now. I tried to explain to her that I hope to never have to pull my gun in self defense but it only takes that 1 moment when you wish you had it and it could happen anywhere at anytime. I even tried to get her to go to the range with me and shoot a couple times, and that she may even enjoy it. However she has no interest. So that being said I don't even tell her when I am carrying or not. Any thoughts on how I could get her to change her way of thinking? This group is a wealth of information so someone out there must of had to deal with this at one point or so. Lets discuss amongst ourselves!
Filing for divorce is one solution. Actually, it's probably the best solution. File now, before she does, and believe me, she WILL file eventually.
Here's what happens when you mate/cohabitate with someone who hates guns:
She tolerates it for awhile, or for as long as she needs you around. Once she can no longer tolerate it, or no longer needs you, or finds a man who will do what she wants (
and women almost always find another mate bfore getting rid of theirs), she will file for divorce/kick you to the curb. If you have children, she'll let you see them for awhile, unimpeded, until she decides she doesn't want to. Then she'll stop letting you pick the kid(s) up. At this point, you'll have to get a lawyer and file a custody complaint.
She'll get served, at which point, her own lawyer will suggest that she files for a Protection From Abuse order, or a Restraining Order, to do an end-run around your custody complaint. You're a gun owner, so the police or the sheriff's department will show up with a copy of the PFA/RO, and confiscate all your guns.
You'll have to go to court to fight the PFA/RO, and you'll more than likely end up in front of a liberal judge, who moe than likely will be a woman, so you'll end up with a permanent PFA/RO, from anywhere to six months to three years, during which time, you'll be barred from owning, shooting, caryring, touching, or even looking at a guns and ammo. Meanwhile, you'll only be allowed supervised visits with your kid(s), and you'll be forced to leave any public place your ex might be, or risk violating the PFA/RO, and go to jail for at least six months.
When your PFA/RO finally expires, you'll have to go to court to get your guns back, which will take another one to six months, during which time you won't even be able to scrape up the money to buy a new gun, because you have to pay your legal fees first.
File for divorce now, before you get screwed.
And LOL@this group being a wealth of information.
I've seen it happen.
